Brito was incredibly accommodating. He was prepared and ready to go before we even arrived, with all the equipment set up for fishing as soon as we hit the water. We caught several big fish and had an amazing time!

The weather was a bit rough, but Marcel did an excellent job putting us on the fish. We caught a couple of Jack Crevalle and Barracuda. He even took us snorkeling. It was a fantastic experience!

I planned this trip as a surprise because I wanted my husband to have a genuine fishing experience—not a fancy, impersonal one. We brought our two boys who also love fishing. Unfortunately, all of us except my husband got really seasick, and we had to move to shallower waters just to get by. The captain was incredibly thoughtful, even giving us a break to help us feel better. While my husband didn’t land the big catch he dreamed of, he’ll definitely be back—this time, probably solo! Huge thanks to Marcel and Louis. My husband will surely return for another adventure. Love, Dilek Hanedar and family

Excellent communication from booking to the day of the trip. Quick response time and very helpful throughout the process. While he and his crew member don’t speak English, using Google Translate worked well. We had a great time on a comfortable boat—ideal for 2 people but manageable with 4.

I had a great day aboard the Elimar with Captain Marcel. I requested an earlier start than advertised, as I’ve always had the best luck fishing at sunrise. While we didn’t head out as early as I’d hoped, Marcel kindly adjusted the schedule. I was picked up at 6:20 a.m. by Valentin, a driver arranged by Marcel at a reasonable rate (slightly cheaper than the hotel). Valentin was punctual and organized, waiting for me at the end of the trip and offering both cash and card payment options, which was very convenient. Captain Marcel was a true professional, frequently changing lures and replacing partially eaten baitfish (likely cut by barracuda). He kept me updated on the plan, shared stories of past catches, and demonstrated a strong knowledge of the local fishing grounds. We landed our first catch about an hour in—a Wahoo around 8 kg (1.3 m long). Marcel mentioned it was smaller than the one caught the day before, but I was thrilled to catch my first Wahoo. As we approached the main fishing grounds, we caught four smaller barracuda and a small albacore tuna. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any bites in the final hours, but that’s fishing! Marcel’s English is a bit limited, but he made a strong effort and used his phone to translate when needed, so communication was never an issue. Overall, I highly recommend Marcel and the Elimar. He worked hard to find fish, demonstrated excellent local knowledge, and offered a reasonably priced trip compared to other options in the area. I even reached out to him later for the driver’s contact information, which he provided promptly, helping me on another day of my vacation. I tried to book another trip before heading home, but he was fully booked. That speaks volumes about his reputation. I’m looking forward to returning for another adventure!

Had a fantastic trip with Marcel! He’s a very knowledgeable fisherman. We ran into a bit of an issue with the boat engine early on (no one's fault—engines need repairs from time to time). Marcel immediately offered to return to shore, fix the issue, and restart the trip the next morning. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do that since I was flying home the next day. Without missing a beat, Marcel arranged a replacement boat for us to get back on the water that afternoon. We switched to a different fishing style on a smaller boat and managed to catch some barracuda. I truly appreciate Marcel’s quick thinking and dedication. I’d highly recommend him as a guide, and I’m already looking forward to coming back next year—hopefully for some Marlin! Thank you, Marcel and crew!

We live in Key West and have years of offshore fishing experience. While staying in the La Romana area, we were excited to see what fishing in the Dominican Republic had to offer. The location was super convenient, and our group of four even got to depart 15 minutes early. This is a trolling trip for big game fish like Mahi, Wahoo, Marlin, and more. As any angler knows, trolling can be hit or miss—you might reel in the big one, or you might not. Fortunately, about halfway through the trip, we hooked a nice Mahi, and everyone had an awesome time. Whether you catch a fish or not, I highly recommend Marcel and this trip. He was incredibly attentive, constantly changing baits and doing everything possible to increase our chances. The price was fair, and you won’t be disappointed!

Captain Marcel Brito is exceptional! He responded quickly and accurately to all my questions before the trip. Although the first couple of hours were slow, things turned around when we hooked a 110 lb Blue Marlin. It took at least 30 minutes to reel it in, with Captain Marcel providing invaluable assistance throughout. Afterward, we headed to a spot where the marlin could be displayed, allowing me to take photos with a fish that stood a foot taller than me! This truly was a once-in-a-lifetime fishing experience. Marcel's expertise, hard work, and genuine care made all the difference. I can't recommend him and this fishing trip enough!

The meeting point was fairly easy to find. Captain Marcel was highly knowledgeable and experienced, providing attentive assistance when reeling in fish. While his English was limited, communication was still manageable. The boat was stocked with cold water, soda, and beer, keeping us refreshed throughout the trip. Having the boat to ourselves made the experience even more enjoyable. I’d recommend opting for the 6-hour trip to get the most out of the excursion.
